- Chemical exposure
- Foreign objects stuck in the eye
- Sudden vision loss
- Blunt force or penetrating injuries to the eye
- Severe eye pain or discomfort
- Flashes of light or floaters
- Eye redness or swelling
- Blood in or around the eye
- Keep Calm: Staying calm helps you think clearly and act rationally

- Call For Help: During office hours, Balmain Vision can provide assistance and care
- Follow Professional Guidance: Until you see us or another professional, follow our telephonic advice to prevent further damage
- Avoid rubbing or applying pressure. Doing so can further irritate or damage your eye, potentially worsening any existing injury.
- Do not attempt to remove objects lodged in the eye. Protect the eye and wait for professional assistance.
- Refrain from self-medicating. Using the wrong eye drops or treatments can delay healing or aggravate your eye condition.
